| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Zimbabwe Bird — a stylised soapstone-carved eagle perched atop a decorated rectangular plinth or pedestal ornamented with geometric zigzag and circular motifs, emblematic of the ancient ruins of Great Zimbabwe. The date '1937' is divided on either side of the bird in the upper field, and the designer's initials 'KG' appear below the pedestal. The surrounding legend reads 'SOUTHERN RHODESIA · ONE SHILLING ·' in raised Latin characters, with the design enclosed by a beaded border. |
